Rocket Lab ([1]) is very decent and has a rapid launch cadence ([2]), even though their rockets are smaller than Falcon 9 (for now). They launched 8 rockets in 2023, 5 rockets in 2024 so far and plan to launch another 15 rockets this year.

There's nothing special about a chatbot giving you false information if you specifically go in and try to jailbreak it so that it does that. You can go into the Coca-Cola website and use inspect element so that it says that Coke gives you cancer and makes your liver explode.

We can use PeerDB to replicate each node (worker and coordinator) from one Citus cluster to corresponding nodes in another Citus cluster. It will require some customization, and I am happy to assist you through the process. Also, just as a heads up, prior to PeerDB, I worked at Citus for 8 years as an early (solutions) engineer, so I have a pretty good understanding of Citus internals. :)

What is the alternative here? The default search position is very valuable. If Google didn't pay for it, someone else would. Should Apple auction it off but disallow Google from winning it? That seems maybe OK I guess?

Should Apple take it for itself and build a search engine? Ironically, this seems like it would make Apple guilty of exactly what many antitrust arguments decry at the moment: a company leveraging its position in one area to give itself a boost in another.

Sounds about right, only a couple of their most basic models were available without it, and we really wanted induction with physical knobs, which is apparently a rare combination. So we had to give in on our no-wifi constraint.
They can cry if they have a good reason. Complaining? No. That's not tolerated. Life can be much harder so if they complain their life gets much more difficult and suddenly complaints stop.

No matter what, if they request a hug they get one. Mid punishment? During correction? They want a hug? Absolutely. Love and affection will never be denied.
My fault, I shouldn't have mentioned that because it's not my key point. Given animals that come in to be spayed, say in a large US city, how risky is spaying? Is it worth everyone paying $300 more to reduce it by a very small absolute percentage? Should vets actually be more up front about this than the ones I'm familiar with are?
SpaceX was a threat to ULA, and ULA knew it.

> I think you should distinguish Indian versus Pakistani versus Bangladeshi. It’s not a group of people who want to be lumped together, same with Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese.

It is a very different situation though. 100 years ago, there was just one country, India – with a great deal of internal ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity. And then, it was split into two over religion, and then one of those splits split again (due to a whole host of issues, although ethnicity and language were both significant factors). Whereas, China, Japan and Korea were distinct countries going back many centuries. You aren't comparing like and like here.

> They're also far less closely related to each other than say British people and French people.

In ethnic and linguistic terms, the majority populations of both Dhaka and Kolkata are basically the same people, the big difference is their religion (although Kolkata is 20% Muslim, and Dhaka around 3-4% Hindu). One can make similar points about the relationship between Lahore and Ludhiana. It is true that people in Dhaka and Lahore are not closely related, but the same is true between Kolkata and Ludhiana. The case of the British and French doesn't have any real parallels.
Usually if you think hard, you can find something that a casual user could progress to wanting more of. Or you can do what a lot of companies do and start everyone on a free trial of premium, and then fall back to free. Or the evil route, and make them opt out of premium to downgrade, or it bills them by default. (May they get chargebacked to hell and dropped by their payment processor)

I don't know much about Proton Mail but presumably they want that so they can actually provide you with a more complete service, other than just being a mail gateway?

I would assume that any technically sophisticated users who just want an SMTP/IMAP server would never let their keys leave their control, but there might be other users for whom a "middle layer" service which has their keys is good enough. (I guess this is especially evident in cryptoassets where people seem to cheerfully let third parties manage their tokens, so it's not really surprising to me that there are a bunch of people willing to do it with their PGP keys for email purposes.)

I guess there's an argument about whether or not they're being responsible in providing such an option at all, which is fair enough.
fix it? are you kidding!

that they demanded the private key tells you _everything_ you need to know about protonmail.
Or FPS games, I would think. Anything to gamify "move the mouse quickly but accurately and click".
I'd say it has the opposite, the desktop itself is shared among several virtual environments. However, I believe W8 did have it.

You know how you swipe between pages on a phone desktop? Organize all the logically coherent things together for productivity and badda bing badda boom.

And Fences does that, mostly. It has "pages" and the "Fences" themselves. Implementation is... Passable. And unfortunately Stardock's reputation isn't stellar.

It'd be nice to see a native system for Windows or Linux that replicates it.

They don’t ever include monetizable search results though, anything that would generate ad revenue goes off to google since the deal they have isn’t a flate rate, it’s a revenue split.

Apple knows enough to not use their search engine in place of anything with actual ad dollars attached to it.
The concept of ‘Akhand Bharat’ dates back to the 1930s and the map is displayed prominently in the newly built Indian parliament last year. So, it is not some fringe ideology,
This seems to "busy wait" when sleeping, i.e. the event loop keeps running even if nothing is currently runnable. I remember reading about another toy implementation which handled it correctly (the way I believe it's actually done in asyncio) by tracking the next-runnable times of a task in sorted order, and if nothing is currently runnable you can sleep the event loop. And then this was extended so that instead of just next-runnable depending on wall-clock time, the task could have a dependency on a socket or something, so that you can use select w/timeout.
The icon for Quad Cities pizza is off by 100 miles or more. Quad Cities is right in the tip of the bend on the Iowa east side/Illinois west side. It is remarkably local. Can't go giving BFE Iowa credit for something they had nothing to do with.
While we are at it, it would probably also be nice to (optionally) color the background of the explored row(or token) and color the title bar of the result correspondingly (I am thinking similar to Godbolt color coding for matching C->ASM)
hi, I like the idea but the quality and diversity of the photos is not much. I would also like to know the characteristics of the plant, whether it resists the cold or whether it needs to be watered often.
Material design is a better UI and UX experience and more thought out than iOS flat. iOS is more limiting overall which might be better for some users by providing less options. You can't install a virus, or any apps you want, if Cook doesn't approve it first.

But complaining about design is a lazy complaint from 10 years ago when Samsung was fighting against a clearly better UI to differentiate its offering after Google spent the money to actually design a UI.

Lag is an issue if you are comparing 100 dollar budget phones to the latest $1000+ iPhone. Not if you actually compare it to a comparable model.
Google SGE Says Drink Urine to Pass Kidney Stones Quickly
while python is eminently criticable, yosef kreinin has designed his own cpu instruction set and gotten it fabbed in a shipping hardware product, and is the author of the c++fqa, which is by far the best-informed criticism of c++; criticizing him with 'this generation is clueless about anything that isn't Python' seems off the mark

> Making Apple Search the default for Safari would cost Apple $20 million per year, but could open up a bunch of new revenue streams

You mean, it would change Apple's incentives to those of Googles. The customer no longer being the customer but rather who's ever paying these new revenue streams.
mjml looks really interesting, thanks for sharing. I wish there was a business reason for orgs to care about accessable and machine readable (I guess OCR is a thing now but still) emails.

Premature Abstraction Undoer Machine™
Rationally, it's still fringe. Like many far-right parties today, in Europe, the US, Latin America, etc., the BJP has built popular support for fringe ideas.

We too quickly forget our history if we don't expect that or think popularity confers rational or moral legitimacy: Mao, Lenin/Stalin, Hitler, not to mention Pol Pot, Suharto, Pinochet, etc etc. were very popular.
Google search results can be quite a bit better for local and commercial queries.
But the problem is they can’t even get “diverse” right. Do they mean diverse in ideas? In thought? In opinion? No.

My LARGE company is on a tirade to ensure we use diverse supplies. We’re collecting metrics on this so we can proudly state how many diverse vendors we we use. When asked what we define as diverse they stated (among other things) that they were members of the LGBQ community. So I asked “so our company is very much concerned if the owners of the companies we work with are bisexual?”

Im married to a woman, but that doesn’t preclude the possibility that I’m bi-sexual. So if, in addition to being attracted to my wife, I’m also attracted to men, then all of a sudden I’m a priority for the company.

It boggles my mind.

Motte-and-bailey fallacy here. We have one comment above asking for nationalization and you are defending regulation which everyone will accept.
> That looks a lot more like a genuine mistake by developers

Can we please stop handing "assume good faith" to megacorps? That's something you grant to individuals, not to companies whose entire existence revolves around doing nefarious things like this. There are no genuine mistakes, there are exclusively bad faith actions that should be coupled with company-funded third party investigation and public disclosure to determine impact along with varying levels of prosecution wherever possible to act as both punishment and deterrent even if it turns out to be a genuine mistake.
Did that ever work for anybody? It’s an obvious idea, someone must have tried it by now.

Is it really capitalism when local governments and NIMBYies prevent housing?

In truth, communism has broken housing in the US.
Lobbyist are not immune to breaking the law. In this specific case, shady companies backed by shady pe firms bribed lobbyists and politicians and was a mess until newly elected officials blew the whole thing up. This is just one familiar example…

Although Netscape was even worse (if you resized the window, it reloaded the whole page), and IE for Mac at the time had the best CSS support out of any browser (it was a different renderer from IE Win). I did a lot of bouncing between browsers (Netscape/IE/iCab/Opera) back then until Mozilla came out and wiped everything else out.
Try setting up an email service without these protections and report back to me how well that went. Oh no you can't, as you won't be able to email anyone as everyone will mark your emails as spam as you'll be a humongous source of it. Running an email service is like being flypaper for dickheads. Evidence-free accusations of being a "honeypot" is ridiculous.

They were always on, used them as power monitors. One on my washing machine, one on the 3d printer, one on the tumble dryer. One on and off depending on the season, christmas tree and similar.. They all died the same way, at some point never turned on again without any apparent reason.
I think the reason I prefer columns is I do the mental expansion into large bracketed expressions. If x is a row and kept inline, then the expansion gets really wide. To keep it compact and have the symbols oriented the same as their expansion, you'd have to put the x above A and that's just silly.

It's easy for old, incumbent companies to become ossified, where their internal culture and bureaucracy and processes are hilariously inefficient. At any given time, there will be some people pushing back on that, but there will always be more people there who are okay with it -- because the ones who couldn't handle the ossification left, while the people who were okay with it stayed. Survivorship bias, in other words; sometimes this is called the Dead Sea effect: https://brucefwebster.com/2008/04/11/the-wetware-crisis-the-...

That's why it's so important for it to be easy for new entrants to start up in an economic sector. You need them to pressure the old guard, or failing that, to replace them.

All of this feels like a side effect of a low trust environment. I respect the author's creativity, but the environment described sounds highly dysfunctional. In my opinion, if the ceo is demanding an arbitrary metric from his subordinate without being able to articulate what they are looking for sufficiently that the subordinate has to invent a made up number just to justify their existence, that sounds like poor leadership to me. Of course, this is only based on the author's side and perhaps I'd feel differently if I heard the other side.

In Satyas position, he knows far too much of Microsoft's interna. For Google, it would be nice to know, but they can't use this directly nor indirectly. It's like Mercedes going to bmw to learn something.. it doesn't make sense, as development and production are completely owned and done differently. Satya is not an universal swiss army knife, nor is he the one knowing everything. If you wanted Google to succeed like Microsoft did the last months, then - leave Satya where he is and instead take the other guys doing the actual work.

That's really a very silly nitpick. I am not directly communicating binary large objects as objects. The point is to communicate blobs in a way intelligible to your audience, to communicate the concept. You have to find your own way to communicate everything is blobs to your audience using language they're familiar with.

Typically I'll say blobs then define blobs as whatever files they're modifying and saving.
There is a reward at the end. That is an important requirement for this method.

It’s easy to try this out in a little more structured way and with assistance. Tiny habits [1] has a free five day program where you can try it and seek assistance from a person trained in this method.

Apple Maps is fairly good in the US. Not in Europe, it sent me to the wrong place a couple of times.

However, directions on Google Maps has been corrupted by Waze - it tends to save you a tiny bonus of time by sending you in weird paths or simply cheating (using the exit lane on a cloverleaf to bypass traffic). Super frustrating and panic inducing if you aren't familiar with the area.
I love this. I’ve been deep diving on layman general relativity and quantum mechanics for weeks now and I can’t get enough of this stuff. It’s mind blowing to me that our models of what black holes might look like seems to be getting proven over time. Absolutely crazy.

I’m also amazed by the people who do this research and modelling. I struggle to comprehend all of it, let alone actively expand our understanding of it
How's that not just a justification for discriminating against people based on race? Unless you're going to assert that those "meaningful" differences in "background or experiences" are necessarily positive, which is completely illogical.
Boeing is definitely in on it, but let's be clear, the gov as a consumer was not really asking for 100 launches a year, and was not in the business of paying for the change necessary to completely reinvent lift as a service. So why wouldn't they just keep charging what they were charging, and building what they always did.

There just wasn't an appetite for risk and reinvention, at least not enough to bring it down and start over, the way an eccentric billionaire could.
I think in math columns as vectors is a more common representation. Especially if we talk about matrix multiplication and linear systems.
